Tenebrael Shard from silver tower has a suspiciously looking patchwork garment...
My guess is Fabius though, or some new creepy enhanced EC elites he created.

Fabius Bile

Urien Rakarth(I doubt we are getting another standard Haemie yet)

These 4 all have some flesh suit going on for them. I find Fabius and Heinrich the most likely considering that both have some obvious similarities.

Iirc, there have been a couple of Tomb King rumours as of late.

TK never really did 'flesh suit'.

Fabius and Urien will lead the pack for what it could be. Mandrakes are a possibility as well as Flayed Ones.
Heinrich Kemmler died during The End Times, and if he came back...I doubt he'd be the same as what he was before.

I would, personally, say that it's something for the Aelf faction that the Tenebrael Shard belongs to...but I can't find him on the webstore to post.

Fabulous Billy, or or something Shamanistic for the Darkoath?

Actually, looking at the stitching, I’m leaning more toward Darkoath. It looks fairly primitive. And for me, Fabulous would take more care?

One of the Warcry factions that we havent seen minis for has a flayed face stretched over a spiked circle as an icon. I'd bet on it being from those guys.

I will say the same thing as with the rag that turned out to be executioner, it's not Fabius. He is a surgeon, he won't produce anything that looks that garbage if his new model looks anywhere like the old one. If that's EC character, it's Lucius. He even has similar covering on his chest.

Fabius bile has an overcoat cobbled together with swatches of flesh. It ain't exactly a precision piece of tailoring by Valentino

The stitching is very neat on the old model though! It would be a change of character for the worse IMO.

Yeah, I think that's Darkoath. A cannibal tribe would be fun to paint. I reckon a lot of the future rumour engine pictures will be Warcry stuff until it's released.

If you follow the current trend, there is something like a 95% chance that fleshcoat is something completely new and NOT anything existing.

So while I personally would like it to be Fabius Bile and indicate some new stuff coming for Emp's Children, I am not prepared to hold my breath.

I'm thinking AoS mortal slaanesh

There are robes beneath the cape. I think it is Fabulous Bill. I am thinking a Slaanesh AOS model. Maybe something for WarCry.

No follower of Slaanesh would ever wear something that poorly stitched.

My bet is new slaves to chaos minis. The Chaos Warriors need an updated kit and I could see that flayed skin being over one of their cloaks, like for a champion/character or something.

Stitching looks almost identical to that of the Haemoculous and Archon cloaks. Think dark eldar is a reasonable guess. For a off the wall guess at it... Vect?

Could be, if GW's learned one thing over the past few years it's that people really enjoy having a big character centerpiece for an army, Gulliman, Abaddon, Magnus, Mortarian.

For what it’s worth, the original Fabius Bile model doesn’t appear to have fabric beneath the skin coat. The rumor engine does. Doesn’t rule out a different interpretation for a new model, but in this case, I think I am going to go with this being Warcry related.

There is a band from warcry with flesh/leather face symbol

Have you (and for that matter, anyone who proposes Bile) ever seen his model up close?



The stitching is so fine it's virtually invisible, certainly nothing like crude, thick lines on the RE piece, and I don't see it changing because he still looks like that on his two new book covers...

But if you look close enough you can see it also has a face stiched in.

DE HQ maybe?

I hope so for their sake

In regards to the book cover, would they even be allowed to change the appearance? If they made a new Bile model, then maybe the books would reflect this, but until then, it would have to be based off his current model. (Which would probably still be pretty close to what the new model might look like)

I think the warcry thing might be a good shout as well

most of thing on book cover is just from latest book not being that old, though hopefully that series gets another entry soon. I could see chances of fabius' model changing hes constantly swapping bodies, wouldnt suprise me if he became the only chaos primaris after reverse engineering the process in attempt to stop the blight.

My face after I realized I got my hopes up too soon for plastic flayed ones

That's a really good spot, actually. Sign me up for this thoery.

some sort of spirit escaping from (or being sucked into) a magic item

so a Ghost Squig then

Legion of Nagash terrain?

that ghost face looks more like the soul face we see on the Warmaster's sword so I'd wager its got more chance being Chaos than Grand Alliance Death.

it could be some kind of soul catcher for Slaanesh or another one for stormcast

Long shot... lash of torment... since it can change form, multiple tendrils and can have a face, also deamonette is trapped within Lucius paired with the last rumour engine... I’m not a Ec fan but could be
Sorry new to Dakka so might be way off

nah it's the new stormcast special character "Lord Vankmann"

Aren't Nighthaunt also supposed to come for WarCry? Do we maybe get new sets for Non-Chaos warbands as well?

I highly doubt it, as it said the existing factions will be available from the start and that would be 9 new sets from the start.
